Peer-Reviewed Journals
in Recreation & Leisure Studies

What are the major recreation & leisure journals?

This page offers a rough ordering of the main leisure and recreation journals,
along with some of the top journals from travel and tourism. With the
recent proliferation of journals it is becoming increasingly important
to understand the relative scope,
quality and scholarly kudos associated with different journals within a
discipline. Journal impact ratings are included
where available. The rough ordering also takes into account
subjective discussions on the
SPRENET listserv regarding journal kudos and
direct correspondence with editors of several of these journals.
